Red Bull driver Max Verstappen took a subtle dig at the FIA's swearing ban in the 2024 season, during his stream. The four-time F1 world champion found himself in the doldrums with the sport's governing body last year when he was pulled up and punished for using a swear word in a press conference.
While describing his car, the Dutch driver used an expletive and was punished by the FIA with one day of community service. The Dutchman protested the punishment by giving short answers at subsequent press conferences.
During his live Stream for Team Redline, Verstappen pulled off the quip when one of his panelists said the word "b******t" on the stream and said:
"Dom you can not swear like that, I wouldn’t want my five-year-old to see that.”
